Want NFC Payment on WP8.1?

[foxbat121]

Used my 1520 twice for payment. Went surprisingly well. Until I went to CVS, it didn't work. Then I realized that CVS turn all its mobile pay off, including Apple Pay in order to promote its own system.

The phone and firmware requirement (must be carrier branded and untouched firmware) will be there forever for security concerns (there is no way to test how a hacked phone can do to a payment system), at least not until MS can provider OS level payment security guarantee.

The HTC One(M8) for Windows on Verizon is supposed to get Softcard support today. The SIM should have been preinstalled so you just have to install the application. So far I think only AT&T had Windows Phone Softcard support up until today.

I wish I could even install the app on my AT&T Lumia 920. I guess you have to be in AT&T's database of registered users to be able to download it. Idk how the store can cross check with AT&T to see that, but I guess they can detect that I am using Straight Talk with my 920, and thus can't download it. Sucks....

​The store is instructed to look for an active, AT&T secure SIM...

Voted. Thanks for the suggestion.

I went to AT&T and got a secure SIM. I put the SIM in and it said "SIM Invalid" on my phone tile. I went to the store and it said it still wasn't available...

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see you said active. There were some people who said they installed it from the store before they even got the secure SIM....:angry:

You need an Active AT&T SIM, don't have to be secure, in order to see the app in store. You have to have an active secure AT&T SIM to be able to use it. In other words, you will never get to use it with your ST account. You need an AT&T account.

Keep in mind that by October 2015 all credit cards in the US will be changed to chip and pin. As a result, there will be a huge influx of new POS terminals at merchants across the country and widespread ability to process NFC payments.

I was researching it recently prepare for a trip to Europe. No US banks support Chip-n-Pin (except for one small bank in mid-west). All major US banks issue Chip-n-Signature cards only.
